    We report a switch from nocturnal to diurnal entrainment of circadian activity rhythms in double-knockout mice lacking the inner-retinal photopigment melanopsin (OPN4) and RPE65, a key protein used in retinal chromophore recycling. These mice retained only a small amount of rod function. The change...

    I will be a guinea pig for my own research hypothesis in that I will have total hip replacement surgery using Ceprotin to help prevent blood clotting due to a protein C deficiency. It is difficult for surgeons and hematologists to agree on a safe procedure for protein C deficient patients undergoing...
